FAQs
What activities are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for casual daily wear, urban exploration, walking, and light everyday activities where comfort and style are prioritized. They are not specifically designed for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I clean my Gel-Kayano 14s?
For the textile and synthetic upper, spot clean with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and water. Clean the rubber outsole with a brush. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do these shoes run true to size?
ASICS generally manufactures shoes that run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's always recommended to consult ASICS's size guide if you are unsure.
What is ASICS's GEL technology?
GEL technology is ASICS's proprietary cushioning system, strategically placed in the midsole of the shoe. It's designed to provide excellent shock absorption and attenuate impact during movement, enhancing comfort.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to improve stability, prevent the shoe from twisting excessively during motion, and reduce the overall weight of the sole unit.
Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?
While providing excellent comfort for daily wear, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily a lifestyle shoe with a retro aesthetic. For serious or long-distance running, ASICS offers other models specifically engineered for high-performance running needs.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try re-lacing to adjust pressure points. If new, allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
The soles seem to lack grip.
Check the outsole for excessive dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Clean the sole thoroughly. Ensure you are on a suitable surface, as all shoes have limitations on extremely slippery terrains.
There's a squeaking sound when I walk.
This is often caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. A thin layer of baby powder underneath the insole can also help.
The shoe material looks dirty or stained.
Spot clean immediately using a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cool water. For tougher stains on synthetic materials, a dedicated shoe cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be used. Always air dry.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: For textile and synthetic materials, gently wipe visible dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and midsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Never put them in a dryer, as heat can damage materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
